About Me
I specialize in an area of medicine called physical medicine and rehabilitation. This means I help patients recover function that they have lost due to a variety of injuries and diseases including stroke and traumatic brain injury.
Doing what I can to help patients return to their family and lives after these potentially life-altering brain injuries is extremely rewarding.
The thing I enjoy most about working at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is collaborating every day with fantastic physicians, nurses and therapists to help our patients recover and gain function as quickly and safely as possible. This team approach to patient care is not only great for patients, but also makes coming to work enjoyable.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.

Although it was determined that I should be seeing someone in the Spine Care Department, Dr. Joseph Rosenthal gave me a complete, (very thorough examination!
Dr. Rosenthal is hands down the best at his profession.
nothing good or bad at this visit.
Very kind and professional.
No bad experience.
He makes me feel confident that I'm getting top notch help & advice -
Dr. Rosenthal meets me where I am with my brain injury. It has been hell on earth navigating TBI/post-concussion syndrome, but Dr. Rosenthal has heard me, supported me, advocated for me ... and appropriately endeavored to temper my frustration and drive to achieve pre-accident level of functionality. His support has been a knot in the rope I'm climbing out of this brain injury pit more than once.
Dr. Rosenthal is so down-to-earth and cool.
He listened to me and let me finish what I was saying and then he gave me some good advice
Dr. Rosenthal is a wonderful & caring doctor.
